Spreaders SP-8550
V-Maxx™ SP-8500/SP-8550 SP-8550
Overview:
V-Maxx™
SP-8500/SP-8550
The SnowEx® 8500 Series brings two different approaches to attacking ice. The SP-8500 efficiently spreads any combination of salt and sand, while the SP-8550 is specifically designed for higher material output for contractors who need to spread high volumes of sand in one pass.
Features
Speed Control
Dual variable-speed digital control allows independent adjustment of spread pattern and material flow, and features auto reverse.
Spinner Assembly
Quick-connect spinner drive assembly provides easy hitch access.
Auger Transmission
Direct drive transmission transfers power to the auger efficiently and effectively.
High Volume
The high volume transmission features a gear ratio of 40:1, allowing the unit to spread 295 to 680 pounds of material per minute.
Vibrator
Attached vibrator reduces material clumping for continuous material flow.
Inverted “V”
Patented vibrating baffle configuration maximizes material flow.
Fitted Tarp
A tarp fitted to the spreader’s dimensions protects material from outside weather elements.
Top Screen
A top screen effectively retains material while allowing visibility into the hopper.
Lighting
Auxiliary LED brake light and work light offer better equipment visibility in dark or snowy conditions.
Pre-Wet Integration
Users can choose to have the spreaders equipped with an optional pre-wet liquid tank system.
